ISIS cells in the Golan could use chemical weapons

The security echelon in Israel has estimated that the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade, an Islamist organization that identifies with ISIS in the southern Golan in Syria, has acquired some of Syrian President Basher Assad’s chemical weapons stockpile, Channel 10 reported on Tuesday.

Security forces have kept a close eye on the activities of the Islamic State sympathizers near Israel’s northern border as it fears that its militants will attempt to use the newly obtained explosive devices with mustard and chlorine gas payloads against Israel.
